POCKET-ATOMIZER.

To all 'whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, RoYAL F. RICHARDS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pocket-Atomizers, of which the following is a specication.

This'invention relates to atomizers and has vfor its object to provide an atomizer of a size and character to be easily carried in the pocket andone which will be relatively simple and thus cheap. y

Another object is to provide an atomizer which may be easily and quickly cleaned' when the parts are clogged, and which will also include few parts so that the lchance of breakage or derangement is reduced to a minimum.A y

Another object is to provide a structure in'which leakage from the reservoir will be prevented. Y 9

'- In the drawingsvforming a part ofy this specification, and in which likeI numerals of reference indicate. similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a view,showing the present atomizer within` a` carrying case provided therefor, Fig. 2 is a view of the atomizer removed from the case, and shown in sections, Fig. 3 is a-view showing the cylinder and the reservoir removed from the cap member.

Referring now to the drawings, the pres ent atomizer comprises a ca member 5 hav.

g ing an upwardly and latera. y directed nose 6 ,at one upper\ corner upon which there is threaded a spraying nozzle 7. The nose 6 has a passage Sfpening therethrough, and extendlng laterally and downwardly within the cap member 5, to the side thereof opposite to thenose 6where the passage opens through the bottom of the cap member. The passage is enlarged from the nose 6 to the opening` of the passage just'referred to,

which is indicated at 9, and this o ening is surrounded by an interiorly threa ed recess 10 formed in the bottom of the cap member.

This recess includes a bottom 11, which thus forms a shoulder surrounding the passage 8, and screwed into. the recess, there is the upper end of a cylinder 12, having a piston 13 Vslidably mounted therewithin and provided with a plunger rod 14. This plunger ro extends outwardly through the bottom 1 of the cylinder, as shown, and has a linger piece 16 atits lower end, surrounded by der recess.`

upwardly extending flange 17, which is varranged to extend overA the lower end of the cylinder when' the piston is at' the upward limit of its movement."

Adjacent to therecess 10, there is formed which receives the upper threaded end 19 i of `a reservoir 20 which is preferably made of glass or other transparent material. A

.passage 2l opens centrally intothe recess 18,

and extends upwardly t6 join the passage v8. The passage 21 joins the passage 8 at an angle, as shown, so that when air is forced through the passage 8, it will tend to cause a vacuum within the passage 21, and `thus draw air therethrou h. The lower end of the passage- 21 is interiorly threaded as lshown at 22, and threaded into these threads there is the upper end of a vertical tube '23 which extends downwardly within the reservoir 20.

The reservoir is `of approximately the same length as the cylinder 12, and when the finger piece 16 has been pushed up to the upward limit of its movement, the ange 17 extends between the lower ends of the reservoir and the cylinder, and is'frictionally engaged therebetween' to hold the piston against downward movement, and also to hold the lower! ends of the reservoir and cylinder separated, Vand thus prevent any breakage of the parts.

A carrying casef24: is provided toreceive the complete atomizer.v f

What is claimed,l is

1. Anatomizer comprising a head member having spaced interiorl threaded'recesses in its under face, sai head mber having' passages communicating with t e recesses, and connected within the head mem- `f sagesi a spraymg nozzle carried by the nose,

a cy inder removably engaged' with the threads of one of the recesses, a reservoir removably engaged with the threads of the other recess, a tube located within the reservoir and communicating with the passage of the reservoir recess, a piston withln the1 cylinder, and a rod connected with the piston for movement thereof to force .air through the passage `communicating withthe cylin- 2. A n atomizer comprising a head member having one upper corner extended laterally to form a nose, said head member having spaced circular recesses in its .under face provided 4with interior threads, said head member having a passage opening through the nose and communicating with the recess at the opposite side of the head member from the nose, said head member having a second passage communicating with the first named passage adjacent to the nose andy communicating with the other recess, a reser-l voir having threads engaged with the threads of the second named recess, a tube communieating with the nsecond named passage and extending downwardly within the reservoir,

a cylinder having threads engaged withjthe threads of the first namedrecess, a pistonwithin the cylinder, a piston rod carrled by the piston and extending downwardly through the lower end of the cylinder, a 20l linger piece carried, by the lower end of the rod, and a ange carried by the finger piece, and arranged for engagement between the cylinder and the reservoir.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature, 25

in presence of two witnesses.
